Keep an eye out for NowTV passes, which are regularly given away. In the last year they've featured on Gillette products, Carling Beer, Pringles, McDonald's and Pizza Hut. Give them your email address and they'll offer you deals. This year they've offered me 3 months of Entertainment for £6.99, 2 months Sky Sports for £27.50 and various Sky Sports day passes for £3.

I think this is the beginning of less popular sports on Sky being bumped off in favour of funding those that they now have exclusive channels for. So if it's not Premier League, Formula 1, Cricket, Golf and the big two darts tournaments (Premier League and World Championship) they're not a priority. NFL and WWE are my two picks to follow tennis out the door (as mentioned Thursday night NFL already on Amazon, both organisations having a dedicated service, and both suffering from cataclysmic ratings declines on Sky). The writing was on the wall for tennis when Sky Sports lost the US Open, surely considered the 2nd biggest event besides Wimbledon.

Tennis was a semi-regular fixture on Mix, so that's many hours of scheduling gone.
